The Egg – Walking Away

Can’t beat a good old electronic wigout to clear out the nostrils of any excess indiepop. And Londoners the Egg can generally perform this duty with aplomb. Getting a bit of notice lately have the lads, mostly for ‘Walking Away’s (version thanks to Tocadisco) inclusion on a striking car ad that exploited its incredibly kinetic energy. ‘Walking Away’ has a tremendous centrepiece, a robotic synth exchange made exclusively for Peter Crouch celebrations (let’s hope its used more frequently however :). Elsewhere it swings quite politely in the direction of beat friendly body parts providing a synthetic take on foreplay. This may be the perfect tonic for cross-country ice-skating transformers but it could also be the fuse for your weekend. KD
